It was called Usenet (originally UNIX User Network) and still co-exists with the web today as an independent Internet service. However, the newsgroups, as the separate Usenet topics were named, have become considerably less important over the past decades. This is due to new, digital exchange mediums such as forums and social networks.

It wasn't spam, it was the gatekeepers of Usenet that was the problem.
(computer scientists)

Before 'they' easily was able to cancel all spam, but then the
gatekeepers removed the 'cancel' feature...
and now they let the spammers run usenet.

Scientists are always the problem.
